One of Ireland’s greatest jazz and blues singers, MARY COUGHLAN, joins us in the same month while Grammy-award winning legend
DON MCLEAN, takes to our stage this season.
I am excited about the impending arrival of multi-instrumentalist, composer, songwriter, storyteller and actor FINBAR FUREY to the
Forum in June for one night only. His long career has also included a singing role in Martin Scorsese’s film ‘Gangs of New York’. There is much for our family market this season with, firstly, our in-house theatre group for adults with learning difficulties, Stage Beyond, and their stage production of Jonathan Swift’s GULLIVER’S TRAVELS. The Grove Theatre brings us GREASE in June while Kaleidescope stages
MY FAIR LADY in the same month.

There are seven nights of live Country music, featuring many acclaimed stars, and hosted nightly by the ever popular Daniel
O’Donnell when OPRY LE DANIEL is broadcast on TG4 in May.

Princess, Shimmer and Shine and their friends in August.
Foyle Opera brings their now yearly production to our venue with
Franz Lehár’s comedic operetta, THE MERRY WIDOW this season.
Classical Music Magazine has hailed APOLLO’S FIRE as ’the USA’s hottest baroque band’; I am delighted to welcome them to their first visit to the Millennium Forum.
This season sees the pinnacle of our yearly offering for our youth market with our youth musical CATS in July and our INTERACT festival for young people aged 12-21. If you are a young person or know a young person who would like to get involved, please contact us.

Mary Coughlan
Mary Coughlan is arguably one of Ireland’s greatest jazz and blues singers; a true artist who has carved out a timeless and highly regarded career and a legion of devoted fans worldwide. Her seminal first album, “Tired and Emotional”, rocketed her to overnight fame in
1985 and, fifteen albums later, her ability to deeply connect with both the song and her audience remains undiminished - a testament to her inner strength and to the power of transformation and redemption. Resonant with the grief of Billie Holiday, the soul of Van
Morrison and the defiance of Edith Piaf, to hear Mary sing is to be at the core of the human heart. Mary’s band on the night will feature
Irish guitar legend Jimmy Smyth.
“A song is not complete unless it has been sung by Mary Coughlan.”
